prochoice/prolife...

This is one of those topics where I thought I was rock solid on where I stand with it.  As I am watching someone who I consider a friend go through this decision making process. I am afraid for her.  I will support whatever decision she makes, I will.  I will not judge or anything like that because that is not fair or right.  She told me and asked if I would go with her.  I told her to make sure she was positive about her decision. I told her again that I would adopt the baby.  I did not tell her not to have an abortion.  I didnt tell her its wrong or that she will go to hell or nothing like that because I realize if someone told me that I would immediately become defensive and feel judged.  She told me of her own free will and asked for support, and that is what I will give her...

I fully understand that the choice is hers to make, I have been thinking about it and realize that I am feeling conflicted on the issue, and I do not want to make her uncomfortable or push my thoughts onto her. That would not be fair at all. I want to be supportive, because I love the children she has. I have already told her repeatedly that if she had the baby, I would be willing to adopt the child. This was also an issue with her previous pregnancy.

Is it wrong that I want her to have the baby? Does it make me selfish that I want to adopt the child?

This is all speculation, as she has not had the pregnancy confirmed at this time.

What do I think?  What is it that is bothering so to the point of feeling anxious and nervous?
